I'm a lot later in the order cue (around the 10th) so I'm not expecting anything but when checking Amazon today (and I made a username just for this) they are now stating on the order page for the MKIII that it will "usually ship within 1 to 2 months"!

I'm an Amazon Prime member and I pre-ordered on March 5th (actually pre-ordered from B&H on the 2nd but cancelled and went to Amazon assuming they'd be more efficient...).

I'm still seeing "Not Yet Shipped" and have been contacting customer support on a daily basis to see if I can get any additional information. So far I've seen everything from "We get new shipments in each day and are sending them out in the order we received orders" to "This is not a high demand item and we have not received any shipments from the supplier yet."

Your guess is as good as mine, but it just seems like Canon is making sure that they all send out the Kit shipments, but have deprioritized the body-only ones. Smart move on their part, definitely making me consider buying the lens too if it means I get the camera 1-2 months early.
